I have an idea for another book, but it's going to be a while, ya'll. Hopefully not too long, but at least a few months, so in the meantime, I'm going to take the liberty to remind you that I have some already ready to go and suitable for holiday giving.
First up, is this quick little read about an elderly homeless woman, reminding us that the end of the world is every single day for a whole mess of people.
I was inspired to write this book after a thread started in a forum I was on called Mrs. Survival. Part homesteady people and part survivalists, the only common thread was that it was a place for women to share and learn.
One woman's husband had suddenly lost his job, which was their only source of income, since she was at home caring for several young children and homeschooling them. She had squirreled away and saved and scrimped and had finally accumulated the suggested year's amount of staples in her pantry, and she was distressed to the point of tears that she had had to dip into it after the job loss.
The replies were mostly encouraging, but they all sternly told her to make sure she replaced it all ASAP, and all I could think of was, "What the everloving fuck?"
I posted and told her how proud I was of her, because SHE DID IT. The whole point of stocking up is to carry a family through hard times, sometimes also known as "the end of the world", and that her husband losing his job WAS the end of the world for them right this minute.
The end of the world happens to people all around us every single day.
There's a death.
There's an accident.
There's a sudden financial disaster.
Shit can happen to anyone at anytime and exactly 0% of us are immune.
Anyway, you can order this disturbing, fairy-tale-esque, feel-good tale of caution from my website below, and please don't forget to join my Patreon for the cost of a single cup of schmancy coffee a month. Support your local authors!
